Double winners Chelsea have been heavily linked with the player and Manchester United were reported to be interested but, according to The Sun, the 24-year-old will finalise his £80,000-a-week deal at Eastlands.

A City source said: 'It's not signed and sealed yet but we are confident it's a done deal. Things are now moving fast and we are hoping to wrap everything up by next week.'
